It seems to be used to allow some forms of social injustice and inequality which I think are unconscionable in such a rich country. But hey. I'm an outsider, what do I know?
It's all about a healthy balance between individualism and communism
Really? Gee,you learn something every day here. That certainly wasn't the impression I got from reading"Capital" at university. Me and my teachers must be really stupid. Thank you so much for correcting my unforgivable misunderstanding.
Oh,just so I don't get all confused again,could you perhaps give me a broad outline of your very different interpretation of Communism,citing Marx where appropriate? About 3000 words should be enough for a simple outline.
firstly, forming an idea on communism only based on Marx is faulty. You would miss Leninism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, maoism, Rosa Luxemburg, Frankfurt School, Anarcho-Communism...etc (I'm an anarcho-communist btw)
Communism is not a society everyone is sacrifice for some greater good, but a society everyone work for self-improvement
But more importantly marxism is based on indivual rights, right to live humanly, right not be exploited. Only through these pseudo liberties that bourgeois society presents can be achieved. People enslaved by property can never be free.
for starters
